This army is really focused on incapacitating the enemy, so be sure to get right into the thick of it! Then getting re-rolls is always a plus, but just getting a free hit is even better. It’s nice to see them keeping this staple for the Sisters going even in Kill Team. And what do faith points mean? Re-rolls and extra crits. The more zealous your Novitiates are in the prosecution of their duties – skulking around, sneaking about, covertly chunking enemy operatives with giant swords – the more points you earn to spend on Acts of Faith. If you’re playing Sisters, you always need an Eviscerator in the army, even if you’re playing a stealth mission! Acts of FaithĪll of this fervour and piety does actually pay off, you see. You can even encourage those who don’t lack enthusiasm, such as the Novitiate Penitent, who loves to go undercover with a chainsword that’s taller than she is… Then her Lead by example will let you get the most out of your Novitiates. With her better save and weaponry, she is going to be a force to be reckoned with. She has a range of wargear available to her (and, as you’ll see from her sprue, some fantastic hats), while her Lead by Example special rule lets her activate another Novitiate if she does something cool, like incapacitate an enemy. The Sister Superior wears full Adepta Sororitas power armour and can wield a boltgun – the only member of the squad to have that honour. Sometimes you just have to whip those initiates into shape apparently! Overall the minis are pretty interesting, even though they have received mixed reviews up until this point.

There are ten sisters in total, with twelve different types of operative to pick from. One can even carry a pair of neural whips, which are just as handy for driving your operatives forward as they are for lashing your foes.

They wield a wide array of sanctified weaponry, from humble autoguns to ancient maces.
